Re: Player signings
Sport BillyA minor gripe, but one I think will have more long term effects
Waiting for players after the game with the girls, a few fans there, all behind the metal barriers. All fine, players usually go up and down the line, all good.
But Saturday, there were loads on the side of the road where the 1875 buses wait, and loads at the bottom of emmeline street. Security did nothing to control it, nowhere near enough fencing and when the players came they all just swarmed them. Give players there due, they handled it, Paik, Iwata and Kyogo especially, worked their way through, did loads. But there were some drunken idiots shouting all sorts at players, Beadle especially. Players surrounded on all sides. Security nowhere. Tension between the idiots and the fans who queued up and behaved. Fans stopping Bright in the road as he tried to drive out. Poor behaviour all round.
As much as you can blame the obnoxious fans, security was really poor. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see it canned next season. Couple of players visibly annoyed with it all.
Special mention to Jay. He stayed for ages, making sure everybody got autographs and pictures. He's clearly a good kid who 'gets it'
Which players were narked ?
